Did we ever work out what was likely to be the best 7th-gen console?

oh yeah, and the DOA movie is coming out next month.

As I understand it most (all?) games can be played by sitting on your arse and using flicks of the wrist.

Anyway:
What will Nintendo think of next?

They might think of another scheme wherein developers are given the chance to finally stretch their talent at minimal upfront $$$ while offering the highest revenue potential for any platform per unit sold, on a console which they themselves make a profit on from launch day forward, yada yada fucking yada.

Anyway if anybody else has $500-700 to throw away for the chance to play such classics as FPS: Apocalypse In The Future, FPS: Apocalypse In The Future, or FPS: Apocalypse In The Future, let me know how fun that shit is, maybe I'll eat ramen for a month and join you.

If I were to buy any of these (which I'm not) I'd go for the one that is likely to get the best range, the biggest games and the most staying power and I bet that'll be the PS3.

Played Wii last night, am in LOVE. The Zelda sword-swings aren't anything more than a wiggle of the remote, but that is still way more satisfying/hilarious than button-mash + button-mash. Also, when they come out with a Wii Fly Fishing game, I will be the first in line to buy.

nintendo's a seven year-old, xbox and playstation are 15 - take yr pick.

meh:

not at $700 a pop, and the company still losing money at that price, and developers shying away. a year or two from now somebody will write an article and the title will be "blu-ray killed the playstation star." And I'll get that fucking song stuck in my head, just like I did to myself just now.

Nintendo: why didn't you bring out a proper console? Why have you gone down the Russell T. Davies route of destroying something good by remaking it for women and gays?

So the people who actually play games buy an Xbox and spend several hundred pounds on games and accessories. The Women and Gays who don't play games buy the Wii, play Wii sports for 5 minutes, then go off and talk about shoes or something.

Excellent plan.

Though Immanent Gaze deserve video games too.

I tell you, back in my day we'd have dealt with tykes like you by having your eyes torn from your head. These days...pah! it's political correctness gone mad!

bah, get a better gimmick

anyway i'm gonna get this shits and i haven't owned a system since the nes (extensive snes and genesis @ friends houses).

I'm looking vaguely forward to "breaking my tv" playing MIME MADDEN, btw. But that is because I am both a Women and a Gay.

No, i am neither your 'Darramouss' nor your 'Nude Spock'. I am me - the one and only Andronicus Comnenus.

-Slept with most of the female members of their family
-Did away with their troublesome nephew, and most of the nobility
-Directly led to the downfall of one of History's greatest empires

I'm the one and only, baby.

Do you actually have some evidence for any of your claims? If its because i don't like the Wii i think its a little unfair - it does, after all, only mean i am a sane rational human being.

Honestley, you're lucky i'm in a good mood. Otherwise you'd all be a bit 'Renier of Montferrat' by now.

Oh dear.

Predictable reference to Spastics? It's not my fault that Nintendo and chums feel compelled to include them in most of the promotional material:

Yeah, i want to play games looking like that man. I'm sure he has LOTS of friends :|

nah, In my head there's a forum of pathetic infantile 30-somethings. Rather than applauding they simply post 'grebt' at everything i say and do, before making a rubbish joke about kittens.

Using dismissive posts in place of actual retorts -10 points
Being a bit podgy and looking like a pedophile -10 points

What utter rubbish i thought geeky 80s fan children had more class :(

Peyton Strickland, 18, was killed Friday at a house he shared with three roommates, Sheriff Sid Causey said.

Roommate Mike Rhoton said Strickland was unarmed when he got up from playing a Tiger Woods golf game but may have been holding a controller when he went to the door as officers bashed it in. Strickland's dog also was shot to death.

The sheriff said Strickland was shot by members of a specially trained team who went to help university officers serve arrest warrants. Causey said officers considered the arrest a high-risk situation.

"Anytime that someone beats a person severely and commits an armed robbery, I certainly would consider him a risk and a danger," Causey said.

The sheriff said the robbery victim waited in line for three days to buy the units for $641 each at a Wal-Mart. He was unloading them at his campus apartment when one man beat him to the ground while another took the consoles, Causey said.
